Vintage hairdresser Sarah Clayton is the latest local entrepreneur to open a new business in Humber Street.

Mousey Brown's opened on Monday, offering everything from beard and moustache trims to wedding hair consultations.

Based in an old wholesale fruit trade warehouse, the salon now rubs shoulders with new bars and restaurants, a clothing shop, a chocolatier and several art galleries in the revamped street near Hull Marina.

Sarah, who also runs Hair Majesty in Ings Road, east Hull, said: "I really wanted to be part of the Humber Street scene.

"I'm known for my vintage styles and thought it was exactly the right place to open a second salon.

"I was looking for somewhere in the city centre and this is the perfect place for me.

"We specialise in slightly alternative hairstyling but we also do the regular stuff too," she said.

"I like to offer a real mix and try to keep my prices down to make even the most outrageous styling affordable.

“Humber Street and the Fruit Market are perfect for what we’ve created – the environment, which is very different from a typical salon, and the range of styles we do. There’s nothing like it in Hull.

“There’s a fantastic atmosphere here and we will add to the buzz because a hair salon is like a community – a place where people meet and talk.

“I love all the individual places on the street. None of them are big brands – they’re all people with real skills and a passion for what they do. Being here really brings that out. It’s a magnet for creative people.”

Co-owner Andy Hampel, who works as a design teacher at Bishop Burton College, said: “We were very well aware of the community spirit in the area and being able to connect a business to that was what really excited us about this opportunity.

“For us it’s about being part of that community and the location is just amazing. The area has been under-used in the past but now it’s really coming to life.”
